*************
What is Teleport Pro Website
Teleport Pro is an all-purpose high-speed tool for getting data from the Internet.
Teleport is the only webspider that really finds all of the files on all of the sites.

Disadvantages of Teleport Pro
******************************
The program provides offline browsing, it is not without some flaws that might turn users off.
This program's layout is initially intimidating, offering tons of white space and not much direction.
Utilizing the command icons after downloading a Web site may require a visit to the Help file, as it also provides no direction for the user.
The program is light on features, and we would have liked a viewer, so that users can surf through their downloaded content like an online browser,
instead of having to click through the file tree.
With its uncomfortable navigation and difficult Web site viewing, we have tested more user-friendly offline browsers.

Httrack
*********
Httrack is nothing but a website copier which is same as Teleport pro but perfoms the task better than that.
It is also It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories,
getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer.

Advantges of Httrack over teleport pro
****************************************
HTTracker is not a ripoff of Teleport.
Teleport supports javascript, while HTTracker, though it says it does not support javascript, tends to do a much better job.
Httracker works on both Windows and Unix platforms, GUI and command line, while Teleport only worked on Windows.
while HTTracker seems to work much better, Teleport Pro cost US$40 or US$50; HTTracker is free under the GPL.
